canuck:

You're too much, snowdrops! Thanks for the e-commentary  

flattered. thanks bro

This Forlan goal will rank as one of the best in the tournament.

^^^
you and your lousy predictions
you are fast becoming another ''switch47''  

24 minutes  GOOOAAAL! - Diego Forlan from Uruguay scores from outside the box 

south africa need to use their wings more.

the uruguays defence have been too comfortable so far

if it hadnt been for the deflection the ball would have soared o'er the bar

nice run by mpela down to the wings, but by the time he gone there he had run out of steam. poor cross at the end

but Pienaar na playa sha

but Pienaar na playa sha

Correct player him.South Africa not doing bad so far

tit_squeez:

but Pienaar na playa sha

he has been consistent so far. he is the stand out player in midfield

another wicked shot by suarez

but into the side netting

South Africa giving them too much space.

Need to close them up

sa left full back is leaking

most of uruguay attack is coming from there

Free kick for South Africa.

Taken deflected to Corner.

corner to sa.

quickly taken

but poor one

snowdrops:

sa left full back is leaking

most of uruguay attack is coming from there

Yes especially the left full back.

They need to close up

tit_squeez:

abeg can some one translate the SA national anthem in english

There 11 official languages in Africa and majority of them are represented in the anthem
Here is the full actual anthem

(Xhosa) Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika                                God [Lord] bless Africa
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,                      Raise high Her glory
(Zulu) Yizwa imithandazo yethu,                        Hear our Prayers
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.                   God bless us, her children

(Sesotho) Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,     God we ask You to protect our nation
O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho,                    Intervene and end all conflicts
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,      Protect us, protect our nation, our nation, South Africa - South Africa
Setjhaba sa, South Afrika - South Afrika.

(Afrikaans) Uit die blou van onse hemel,                     Ringing out from our blue heavens
Uit die diepte van ons see,                                          From our deep seas breaking round,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,                                           Over everlasting mountains,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,                            Where the echoing crags resound,

(English) Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa our land.

carlos alberto sa coach, should change to 4-4-2. their attacker is too isolated up front

South Africa giving them too much room

Good attack by South Africa

South Africa's strong point is counter attack but the Uruguayans are not relenting in their attack; they know that its not over till its over.

What a Vuvuzela , Ke nako, Jabulani strike by Forlan   >:

These Uruguayans are ballers sha I hope it doesn't come back to hurt them.

SA need to contain Forlan. the guy de roam like say dem give am freedom of Pretoria

Uruguay are knocking the ball around with ease and South Africa cannot get a foot on it at the moment. When the hosts do get forward, there is usually only Katlego Mphela in the area at any one time, which isn't enough

the crowd will start geting impatient soon

sa just strking the ball btw themselves
no penetration

South Africa doing good winning the ball back but giving it away so quick.

Not giving South Africa room to operate

These guys just stringing passes.

SA needs to keep the ball and close up on them.
